Description

Novel FSH glycosylation mutant D3N
Technical field
The present invention relates to the human reproduction field.More particularly, the present invention relates to fertility treatment.
Background of invention
Gonad-stimulating hormone
Follicular stimulating hormone (FSH) is a member of gonad-stimulating hormone family, and gonad-stimulating hormone plays keying action in mankind's fertility.Gonad-stimulating hormone also comprises lutropin (LH) and chorionic-gonadotropin hormone (CG), is heterodimer, and each molecule is made up of a total α-subunit (92 amino acid) and a distinctive β-subunit (FSH is 111 amino acid).The aminoacid sequence of adult form FSH α-subunit and β-subunit is respectively shown in SEQ ID NO:1 and SEQ ID NO:2.
From hypophysis and postmenopause urine liquid, isolated people FSH (EP 322,438) and in mammalian cell recombinant production (US 5,639,640, US 5,156; 957, US 4,923, and 805, US 4,840,896, US 5; 767,251, EP 211,894 and EP 521,586).People FSH β-subunit gene is also disclosed in latter's document.US 5,405, and 945 disclose a kind of modification people α-subunit gene that contains an intron.
People such as Liu, J Biol Chem 1993,15; 268 (2): 21613-7, people such as Grossmann, Mol Endocrinol199610 (6): 769-79, Roth and Dias (Mol Cell Endocrinol 1,995 1; 109 (2): 143-9, people such as Valove, Endocrinology 1994; 135 (6): 2657-61, people such as Yoo, JBiol Chem 199325; 268 (18): 13034-42), US 5,508; 261 with people such as Chappel, 1998, Human Reproduction; Disclose FSH various structures-functional relationship research at 13 (3): 1835, and identified the amino-acid residue of participating in receptors bind and activation and dimerisation.
The application of gonad-stimulating hormone in auxiliary procreation technology
Gonad-stimulating hormone plays keying action in the reproductive cycle; In exogenous treatment, use gonad-stimulating hormone also to be absolutely necessary for auxiliary procreation technology (ART); Sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) and embryo transfer (ET) and ovulation induction (OI) in for example vitro fertilization of these auxiliary procreation technologies (IVF), the IVF associating endochylema, OI is used to carry out nature internal insemination or ins's anovulation patient.
US 4,589,402 with US 4,845,077 the people FSH that does not contain LH of purifying and the application in vitro fertilization thereof are disclosed.EP 322 438 discloses a kind of LH activity that do not have basically, has the active albumen of 6200U/mg FSH at least, and wherein FSH α-subunit and β-subunit possibly be respectively its wild-type or truncation type.
Need long-term treatment in order to obtain result of treatment, usually, need continuous 8-10 days, sometimes up to 21 days, and for the male sex who hangs down gonad-stimulating hormone, induce the spermatogeny need be up to 18 months in order to stimulate generations of women's ovarian follicle.Normally intramuscular injection every day (i.m.) or subcutaneous injection (s.c.) administration of reorganization hFSH, association is uncomfortable and possibly produce the reaction of local injection position.Reduce administration frequency and can promote treatment, make short sexual gland glandular hormone administration more convenient, more be prone to tolerance, more the patient is supreme.
The FSH glycosylation
Gonad-stimulating hormone is gp, and each subunit contains l-asparagine and connects (N-connection) oligosaccharides side chain, and this oligosaccharides side chain is extremely important for activity in vivo and function.It is translation back incident that the sugar of polypeptide adds (glycosylation), and sugar chain is added on l-asparagine (N-connection) or the serine/threonine (O-connection) specifically.Compare with the aminoacid sequence that the protein part of gp is constant, sugared structure is variable, and this specific character is referred to as micro heterogeneity.For example, same proteic each N-glycosylation site can contain different sugared structures.And, even if, also have different sugared structures at a certain proteic same glycosylation site.This heterogeneity is sugared non-template guiding synthetic result.
Proteic N-glycosylation occurs in consistent pattern formula l-asparagine-Xaa-serine/threonine (Asn-Xaa-Ser/Thr) specifically; The less consistent pattern formula l-asparagine-Xaa-halfcystine (Asn-Xaa-Cys) that occurs in, wherein Xaa can be any amino-acid residue.Yet the existence of consistent type tripeptides is not sufficient to guarantee the asparagine residue glycosylation.For example, low 50 times of N-glycosylation rate takes place than other consistent pattern formula Asn-Xaa-Ser/Thr in l-asparagine-proline(Pro)-serine/threonine (Asn-Pro-Ser/Thr) sequence.
People FSH contains 4 N-and connects glycosylation sites: 2 at total α-subunit 52 and 78,2 at β-subunit 7 and 24.The sugar that appends to FSH α-subunit is very crucial for dimeric assembling, integration, secretion and signal transduction, and β-subunit sugar is removed then extremely important from circulation for dimer polymerization, secretion and heterodimer.
People such as Galway, Endocrinology 1990; 127 (1): 93-100 confirms; The FSH two mutants that the Chinese hamster ovary celI system of N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase-I Chinese hamster ovary celI system or sialyl transportation defective produces; Has identical external activity with the hypophysis FSH of wild-type cell excretory or purifying; But but do not have activity in vivo, supposition is because the bad varient of glycosylation is removed very fast in serum.People such as D ' Antonio, Human Reprod1999; 14 (5): 1160-7 has described FSH isoforms (isoform) different in the circulation of blood.These isoforms have identical aminoacid sequence, but the posttranslational modification degree is different.According to finding, to compare with acid isoform, the interior removing of acid more weak isoform body is faster, possibly be because the sialic acid content between isoform is different.In addition, people Endocrinology 1995 such as Bishop; 136 (6): 2635-40 sums up, and circulating half-life is the main determining factor of activity in vivo seemingly.These observations cause a kind of hypothesis, promptly can be through introducing the sialic acid content that extra glycosylation site improves polypeptide, to prolong the transformation period of FSH.
The FSH varient
C-terminal peptide (CTP) through with pregnancy urine extract (hCG) is fused on the natural recombinant human FSH (rhFSH), has developed the FSH agonist the long half-lift of having more.C-terminal peptide (CTP) group is made up of to 145 amino acids 112-118, has to be positioned at 121,127,132 and to be connected glycosylation site with 4 O-of 138.US 5,338, and 835 disclose a kind of FSH β-subunit of modification with US 5,585,345, and its C-terminal glutamate (Glu) prolongs with the CTP group of hCG.It is said that the modification analogue that obtains has the biological activity of natural FSH, but have long circulating half-life.US 5,405, and the C-terminal part of 945 open hCG β-subunits or its varient have material impact for the removing of CG, FSH and LH.
US 5,883,073 disclose have CG, single chain protein TSH, LH and FSH agonist or antagonistic activity and that form by two α-subunits.US 5; 508; 261 disclose the heterodimer polypeptide with LH and fsh receptor binding affinity, and it contains a glycoprotein hormones α-subunit and the β-subunit polypeptide that non-natural produces, wherein; β-subunit polypeptide is to contain 4 to close the amino acid chain of piecing together subsequence, and this subsequence is selected from a group-specific sequence.People such as Klein (2003) disclose FSH analogue a kind of strand, that the transformation period prolongs, α-link to each other through an oligopeptides wherein with β-subunit, and this oligopeptides contains two N-connection glycosylation sites.
For the transformation period in the body that improves FSH, WO 01/58493 discloses 77 kinds of sudden changes can carrying out at α-subunit of FSH and 51 kinds of sudden changes can carrying out at β-subunit of FSH.In addition, WO 01/58493 also discloses and can perhaps insert one or more glycosylation sites in the FSH polypeptide different loci, to improve its transformation period in the terminal increase of the N-of FSH.Can insert the FSH polypeptide though WO 01/58493 has described glycosylation site,, but still can keep the FSH activity not provide guidance for which (which) site to insert glycosylation site in.WO 01/58493 further discloses mutant ' alpha '-and β-subunit (1 extra glycosylation site) or unite use (2 extra glycosylation sites) separately.Certified 128 candidate's two mutants are to use 50 models of three-dimensional (3D) structure of FSH to identify, this model is only based on the structure of hCG and the sequence alignment generation of FSH and hCG, and β-subunit of hCG and FSH has only 32% consistence.WO 01/58493 does not openly introduce any FSH α of glycosylation site-or the production or the mensuration situation of β-subunit through rite-directed mutagenesis.
WO 05/020934 disclose the α of FSH wherein-and β-subunit the GM1 of sudden change is all arranged; Comprise two sudden changes of a β E55N/V57T, promptly L-glutamic acid (E) residue of 55 of amino acid sites Xie Ansuan (V) residue that is mutated into 57 of l-asparagine (N) and amino acid sites is mutated into Threonine (T).The aminoacid sequence of β E55N/V57T is shown in SEQ ID NO:3.
Need a kind of product clinically; The relevant effect of part or all of treatment of FSH can be provided, can more hang down frequency administration than existing FSH product, and preferably; Compare with the accessible circulation FSH activity of existing treatment, more stable activity level can be provided.
The present invention aims to provide the preparation method of this series products and this series products.
